I dug it up and brought it home, but couldn&#039;t find any advice on how to preserve it as it dried. It&#039;s been kept wrapped in a tarp in a cool room for a few months, but unfortunately the wood has started to crack severely in several places.</p><p><br /></p><p>The outer rim and center are made of metal, while the spokes and inner part of the outer rim are wood. Large chunks of what I presume are wood (it&#039;s still dirty, so I can&#039;t tell) are starting to chip off. Any advice on how to clean the sand and preserve the wood (what&#039;s left of it) would be helpful.</p><p>Also, any idea if its worth anything in this decayed state (I&#039;m guessing not, but thought I&#039;d check)? Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>Pics: the first image is the day I dug the wheel up.</p><p>The rest are after several months in a tarp. The last image shows the size of the pieces that are chipping off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
